Belltech spindles

[ssn696]

The rims alone on the pictured T-type are probably $4000.

If you are short on cash to import Blazer spindles, consider cultivating a relationship with a machine shop. You could machine the discs off of a pair of stock G-body brake rotors, leaving the hubs with a surface for slip-on rotors. You would also need to machine your stock spindles to create a surface to bolt on the adapter plates for the caliper abutments. Do I have plans? No. But you could do some research and figure it out. Post details as you find them.

Zero chance I would pay that for wheels even if I had money to burn. Wheels I will be using are about $650 a set and look close enough for my tastes. The car will be a polished turd, no need to spend big money on stuff

A true mechanic at heart, my uncle is the same way with his 78 T/A. He nickle and dimes everything on it so it hasn't been on the road in forever. But then goes and drops huge amounts of money into his boat. But to be fair, that is his business both in what he does for a living and it is his money to do as he sees fit. Guess it is worth it at times

I'm suddenly hungry... 😛

The pink bikini certainly got hungry by the end

Why do you want Blazer spindles? Disc conversions arent that hard with stock G-body spindles.

Your Uncle's boat looks awesome. I doubt I would ever been in a financial position like that lol...

The nickel and dime part is the fun part. That is hotrodding at its best. Anyone can buy all new expensive parts, and some just get someone to build their cars, that is not why I am into cars. Not calling down anyone, I used to do the same before I bought tools and started learning

I will pay for stuff that is needed, but $4K for wheels that, to me, look as good as $650 wheels, naw, huge waste. I could use the spread to buy an LSA if I had that kinda of money to burn

NorthernRegal. I want a better setup. sealed hubs/bearings, bigger rotors, better calipers etc for relatively cheap. Works for me.

Waiting for a bonus at work, if it works out I will be going through my list.

So first off, I really messed up and made a member a little upset with me (so he should be). He has some blazer spindles and supporting stuff that I was going to buy. I won't make the mistake again without actually having the money to buy ready....tough month...sigh

anyway, next question. Anyone running coilovers with the blazer spindles? Just curious. Would solve ride height issues, and I see they have heavy and lighter spring rates for BBC and SBC/LS. Based on a previous comment, sounds like BB springs regardless of engine choice might be best

Not upset, was just curious why.
As you can see in my signature, my GN has QA1 coil overs with stock Blazer spindles. As Streetbu stated, I also have no issues with my setup. If you decide to go this route, but need a little more time to come up with the funds, that's fine... I'll save them for you if your serious. Pay half, then pay the other half, and I'll send them to you.
